That Page is a major FAIL if you ask me. It takes a great deal of careful reading to know which ones are the best to use.
It should really be reorganized into several pages with a intro page that is some sort of tree structure.
I'm rather sympathetic to John's objections this time. This afternoon I took Sven's comment and brought up the repositories page again; I installed all the 11.1 repositories except factory and unstable. I started by selecting all the updates for 11.1, and enabling them in yast. Then, yast -> Online Update -> Package -> All Packages -> Update if newer version available got me dozens of unsatisfied requirements. This time I stuck it out through all the error messages, carefully reading each and adjusting the permitted updates. After several rounds of allowing and refusing various updates, yast got me to a place where I only had to refuse konversation-lang and konversation. I let it go, and, after 112 updated packages, am now up to kde 4.3.4, except those two. Although I notice now that konqueror-plugins wants libwebkitkde.so.1, which I'd have to downgrade 30 other packages to get. So, now, is my konqueror good or not? I don't see any difference, but then I didn't see any difference in any other packages, either. Even after reading carefully the whole page, and reading carefully all the errors, and trying several sets of refused and permitted actions, I still have 3 packages that come up wanting to be upgraded, but requiring downgrading of dozens of other packages to get those upgrades. How do I get a fully up-to-date system? John Perry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
